The first snow of the season hit. I was an hour away from home and having dinner with my son when it started. By the time we finished eating it was already an inch on sidewalks and roads. Traffic on the highway was moving somewhere between 15 and 35 mph, visibility was terrible. No mishaps, but 2 1/2 hours driving carefully. Already just about bedtime, so studio time was short and pretty much to the point.

Here in new England, Winter continues to resist the advances of Spring. As I write this, it’s been snowing again, all morning and into the afternoon. But the flakes are melting into slush once they hit the ground, and have so far failed to cover the newly exposed ground for very long.
